When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

When people on the academic fields and the activism side, say that you have to act to stop these people they’re not saying performative Neoliberal bullshit. Let’s be very clear. Historically the only way you get rid of the fascists and Nazi bedbugs is by razing the house and everything near by.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

You have to admire the chutzpah of Ted Cruz attacking Karen Bass and Dems in LA right now. Ted Cruz wasn’t on an official trip out of town when Texas snow storms hit & shut down his state - he fled to Cancun AFTER the crisis began, to stay at the Ritz & have a nice time. 250+ people died in Texas

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

1. Imagine how weird it is to just move to, and live, at Mar a Lago. 2. Imagine being people who spend their Thanksgiving at Mar a Lago. 3. Imagine how screwed up our media and political climate is that the richest man in the world just moving into the president-elect's house is totally normalized.
